Frases célebres de Donald Miller

“Para nosotros es difícil admitir que tenemos una naturaleza pecaminosa porque vivimos en este sistema de chequeos y balanzas. Si somos atrapados, seremos castigados. Pero eso no nos hace gente buena, solo nos hace dóciles.”

Donald Miller

Tal como el Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

“Por un momento, sentado con la ciudad bajo mis pies, me imaginé cómo sería la vida sin narcisismo. Me pregunté cuán hermoso sería considerar a los demás más importantes que yo mismo. Me imaginé la paz que experimentaría si dejara de ser acosado por esa voz pueril en mi interior que solo quiere placer y atención. Me pregunté cómo sería no vivir más en una casa de espejos, en la que me acuerdo de mí mismo dondequiera que vaya. Esa noche empezó a llover en el monte Tabor. Me monté a la moto, y manejar en la lluvia es algo que detesto porque las calles se ponen muy resbalosas. Llegué a casa empapado y con los nudillos blancos. Mi cuarto se sentía cálido y acogedor, como siempre lo es con sus paneles de madera y el abedul descollante fuera de la ventana. Me senté en la cama y miré mi árbol, que en el momento estaba recibiendo el aplauso de la lluvia. Esa noche no me sentí tanto como Napoleón. No me gustó recordar cuán absorto y concentrado estaba en mí mismo. Quería superar esa condición, dar el asunto por terminado. No quería vivir en un mundo”

“La recompensa que obtienes al vivir una historia nunca es tan grande como te la habías imaginado y el trabajo es más duro de lo que creíste en un principio. Recuerda que el propósito de una historia nunca es el final, sino tu carácter que se moldea con el arduo trabajo que realizas en la parte del medio.”

Donald Miller

Un largo camino de mil años: Lo que aprendí al redactar mi vida

“Y una vez que sabes lo que se requiere para que la historia de tu vida sea mejor, no tienes opción. Rehusarte a vivir una mejor historia sería como decidirte a morir, a deambular por la vida adormecido hasta que te mueras, y no es natural que uno quiera morirse.”

“Es verdad lo que Steven Pressfield dice: hay una fuerza que se opone a lo bello que hay en el mundo y muchísimos nos estamos rindiendo. Robert McKee afirma al final de su libro que el mundo necesita que seamos valientes. El mundo requiere que escribamos algo mejor.”

Donald Miller: Frases en inglés

“Without the Christian explanation of original sin, the seemingly silly story of Adam and Eve and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, there was no explanation of conflict. At all.”

“When you live on your own for a long time, however, your personality changes because you go so much into yourself you lose the ability to be social, to understand what is and isn't normal behavior. There is an entire world inside yourself, and if you let yourself, you can get so deep inside it you will forget the way to the surface. Other people keep our souls alive, just like food and water does with our body.”

“It comforts me to think that if we are created beings, the thing that created us would have to be greater than us, so much greater, in fact, that we would not be able to understand it. It would have to be greater than the facts of our reality, and so it would seem to us, look out from within our reality, that is would contradict reason. But reason itself would suggest it would have to be greater that reality, or it would not be reasonable.”

“Many of our attempts to understand Christian faith have only cheapened it. I can no more understand the totality of God that the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me. The little we do understand, that grain of sand our minds are capable of grasping, those ideas such as God is good, God feels, God loves, God knows all, are enough to keep our hearts dwelling on His majesty and otherness forever.”

“I mean that to be in a relationship with God is to be loved purely and furiously. And a person who thinks himself unlovable cannot be in a relationship with God because he can't accept who God is; a Being that is love. We learn that we are lovable or unlovable from other people," Paul says. "That is why God tells us so many times to love each other.”

“What was more frustrating than the loss of exhilaration was the return of my struggles with sin. I had become a Christian, so why did I still struggle with lust, greed, and envy? Why did I want to get drunk at parties or cheat on tests?”

“I feel like I am constantly saying things I don't mean. I tell people they should share their faith, but I don't feel like sharing my faith. I tell people that should be in the Word, but I am only in the Word because I have to teach the Word. I said to a guy the other day, 'God bless you.' What does that mean? I have been saying that stuff all my life, but what does it mean? Then I started thinking about all the crap I say. All the clichés, all the parroted slogans. I have become an infomercial for God, and I don't even use the product.”

“I used love like money, but love doesn't work like money. It is not a commodity. When we barter with it, we all lose. When the church does not love its enemies, it fuels their rage. It makes them hate us more.”

“It took me a while to realize that these stories, while often used with children, are not at all children's stories. I think the devil has tricked us into thinking so much of biblical theology is a story fit for kids. How did we come to think the story of Noah's ark is appropriate for children? Can you imagine a children's book about Noah's ark complete with paintings of people gasping in gallons of water, mothers grasping their children while their bodies go flying down white-rapid rivers, the children's tiny heads being bashed against rocks or hung up in fallen trees? I don't think a children's book like that would sell many copies.”

“If you believe something, passionately, people will follow you because they think you know something they don't, some clue to the meaning of the universe. Passion is tricky, though, because it can point to nothing just as easily as it points to something”
